Garlic Herb Bread

This classic garlic herb bread is the ultimate vegetarian side dish, designed to accompany everything from hearty pasta bakes to fresh summer salads. By using plenty of fresh garlic and flat-leaf parsley, you create a vibrant, aromatic butter that far surpasses any shop-bought alternative. The crust remains slightly crisp while the centre stays beautifully soft and buttery, making it an irresistible addition to your dinner table.

Preparing this homemade loaf is incredibly simple and takes very little effort. It is an excellent choice for family gatherings or casual entertaining, as it can be assembled in advance and popped into the oven just before you are ready to eat. Serve it warm in a basket to ensure every slice remains tender and full of savoury flavour.

Ingredients for Garlic Herb Bread

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature

  • 2 large cloves of garlic, finely minced

  • 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley

  • 1 loaf French bread, about 12 inches long

How to make Garlic Herb Bread

  1. Combine the butter, garlic, and parsley in a small bowl.

  2. Shortly before serving, preheat the oven to 177°C. Cut the bread into 1-inch slices without cutting all the way through. Spread the butter into each slice. Wrap the bread in aluminum foil, gathering it loosely over the top.

  3. Heat bread in the oven for about 20 minutes for the butter to melt. Serve in a basket, wrapped in a napkin.
